round shingle panels and full perfection shingle panels While offering the look of real wood, these panels are practically free from splitting, warping, cupping, twisting, fading, or streaking They also need no painting or repetitive surface protection The panels are typically about 0100-inch thick with ribbed backer components that add structural stability These molded shingles hold up well in rainy, windy, and coastal climate locations, especially when backed with reflective building foil (Fig 11-14)

Almost any type of wood can be used for solid plank siding, including such species as cedar, redwood, fir, cypress, pine, spruce, and hemlock Redwood siding in particular is very durable It resists deterioration from the weather and from insects Unpainted redwood surfaces will darken season by season to a deep grayish brown Solid wood siding comes in many styles for horizontal and vertical applications, including beveled, dropped, and beaded planks for horizontal sidings, and V-groove, tongue-and-groove, board-and batten, and channel vertical sidings (Figs 1115, 1116, and 1117) Beveled horizontal wood siding is probably the most popular of all solid wood exterior wall coverings because it so nicely complements most styles of architecture It consists of long boards, available in varying thicknesses and widths having beveled edges and tapered to exagF I G U R E 11 1 5

PLYWOOD SIDING

Plywood siding can be supplied in many varieties of wood and patterns at varying costs (Fig 1120) Check with your local suppliers to see samples Only exterior types of plywood should be considered those having their layers of veneer bonded together with a tough waterproof glue Plywood panels are manufactured in 4-foot widths and 8- to 12-foot lengths that, due to their size and ease of installation, help hold down labor costs If you plan to use plywood siding, match the correct length panels to the requirements of your home to have as few horizontal joints as possible, because they ll detract from the overall appearance and can be a source of water and moisture leaks if not correctly installed
